Gasol is 33 years old and in the final season of a contract scheduled to pay him $19.3 million. Think he and JaVale McGee might be able to create some offensive and defensive matchup problems in the Denver frontcourt?

With a salary of $11.9 million, Rondo is in the prime of his career, but stuck as the last proud Celtic standing amid the rubble of a franchise's messy rebuilding project. He's a triple-double waiting to happen. He can also be a pain in the rump. Nevertheless, you think Rondo might be any good in a three-guard rotation with Ty Lawson and Wilson Chandler?

If the Lakers or Celtics fall out of the playoff race, they could also look to move salary.
